New Orleans based Jim-E Stack, as I've mentioned a few times, is one of my favorite new producers. His frantic productions are hard to describe, but they always feature unhealthy amounts of bass and hurricane-speed percussive sounds. Twisted, short, but so very on-point. Spring-loaded club music.

LA/Montreal house music duo LOL Boys have just released this phenomenal foray into the future for the new edition of Kick Out the Jam's mix series. This is a nearly an hour's worth of new and unreleased material from such names as Munchi, xxxy, Dubbel Dutch, Sinjin Hawke, Mackpaye and of course the LOL Boys themselves. I'm always on the look-out for more of their distinctive brand of dance music, so stumbling upon this new mix was quite a treat. Definitely looking forward to all of these releases!

Clams Casino is an amazing producer based in New Jersey who is most recognized as the mastermind behind a few of Lil B's #based classics, including I'm God and Motivation . He recently released this instrumental mixtape of his past productions, which features beats he did for Souljah Boy, Main Attraktionz, Squadda B, the Jealous Guys and Deezy D.

I wasn't too familiar with Clams Casino up until the point I heard this mixtape, but it has rapidly become one of my favorite instrumental hip-hop releases ever. I've been bumping these distorted dreamscape beats for the past few weeks and I'm still going hyphy to it. So solid. Grab the tape for free below.

Speaking of hyphy, one of my favorite groups during its brief heyday was The Pack. Of course, Lil B was the member who got most of the burn after hyphy died down, but the producer/rapper behind all of their beats, Young L, was my favorite member. He started off making all of their futuristic bangers on Fruity Loops, but has now moved on to Reason. As time goes on, his stuff gets a lot more bizarre and minimal, but it is extremely unique and dope. I've included an insane cut off of the mixtape, Conscious Minds, which samples Peter, Bjorn & John's Last Night. His music is dark, insane, and most importantly innovative. Grab the free swag below.
